a real live parasite that one... 
(His clients are the parents of a 6-year-old girl who survived the attacks, but was traumatized by the shooting, gunfire and the screaming she heard over the school's loudspeaker that day.)
Do we need more proof that Shakespear was right.
Connecticut must have a frivolous litigation statute, analogous to Rule 11 of the FRCP on the Federal side.
Such statutes generally require that the defendant's lawyers send a "notice letter", warning the plaintiff's lawyer that they believe the suit to be without merit and putting him on notice that if the suit fails they will seek penalties and attorney fees for filing a pleading "that the pleader knows to be without merit".
I only did this once in my checkered legal career, but it was sure a whole lot of fun, and my client got all his legal fees back from the plaintiff's attorney and his client, which pleased him greatly. And of course it made the front page of the local paper and shamed the plaintiff's attorney (to the extent that such creatures are capable of feeling shame).
Looks to me like a letter sent certified mail, return receipt requested, had just enough time to reach this lawyer's mailbox.
a real live parasite that one... Nothing like compounding tragedy with greed and idiocy.
“Evaluating new evidence” is lawyer-speak for “I have been told I will be sanctioned for abuse of process if I pursue this insanity.”
...The TLA (Trial Lawyers Association) or CBS (Crooked Bloodsucking Shysters) being top Democrat hacks ordered the plaintiff attorney to say, “never mind.”
I suspect sane people (are there many left) shamed these parents by saying “you got more than a million already,, You go to keep your daughter, you greedy pig.”
Most Newtown’ers are probably not amused by this Pinsky clown’s legal antics. ~$100M = Newtown’s annual budget, which was a hotly contested issue earlier this year (it took 4 referendum votes to finally/barely pass).
Or a case of temporary sanity... Meanwhile- has anyone noticed how completely this story has dropped from national news? Weren't the police close to explaining the motive as far as they understood...and discussing the evidence they found?
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Ban loudspeakers and screaming.
case closed.
oh and...”Happy New Year!” C_H!
I’ll bet the guy got a phone call/horse’s head delivery.
He/the parents go ahead with this suit, and Chicago follows, along with every other village school in the country.
